Formerly called	The Estates Governors of Alleyn's College of God's Gift at Dulwich

The Dulwich Estate, previously the Estates Governors of Alleyn's College of God's Gift at Dulwich, is a registered charity in England, one of the successors to the historic charity Edward Alleyn's College of God's Gift that was founded in 1619. It owns the freehold of around 1,500 acres (6.1 km²) in Dulwich, South London, including a number of private roads and a tollgate. The estate properties range from Regency and 19th century buildings to distinguished modernist 1960s buildings.

A "Scheme of Management" was created in January 1974 under Section 19 ("Retention of management powers for general benefit of neighbourhood") of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967.^[1]

A major reorganisation of the College of God's Gift took place on 31 July 1995; the charity, then known as The Estates Governors of Alleyn's College of God's Gift at Dulwich was renamed The Dulwich Estate, and its governing body retitled Trustees.^[2] The individual components of the College of God's Gift (the three schools, the almshouse, the chapel and the Dulwich Estate) were separated into individual registered charities.

The Estate distributes its surplus to a number of beneficiaries defined by its governing document.^[2] In 2006–7, the Estate had a gross income of £8million, and net assets valued at £187.9million.^[3]
